Summertime calls for these 5 must-have Skirts

COVER STORY / 2021-05-04

Buds are blooming and we can feel the Sun a little more. What this means is – Summer 2021 has finally arrived. This means airer fabrics and free-flowing silhouettes will be fashion's mark in the upcoming days. An ethereal cotton sun-dress is a great standby, but don't sleep on the versatility of summer skirts. Like dresses, their comfort also reigns supreme. Whether you prefer a shape-framing silhouette or a bohemian interpretation, both will provide relief from cumbersome jeans and heat-trapping leggings.

Play with hemlines and waistlines, prints and pleats, and choose from a variety of fabrics – from denim to silks. Channel your inner Monet watercolor painting and lean into softer hues. Replace the boring neutrals and harsh neons this season. If you like things a little maximal, don’t fret –  head-to-toe prints are all the rage, so use them as your excuse to do the most with trendy skirt looks. Ahead, we've listed our top five summer season skirts trends.

1. MINI SKIRT

Skin is in for summer 2021. It is evident by the number of skin-baring silhouettes and styles on the runways. Sheer and mini skirts caught our eye. These are perfect for creating feminine, dreamy, and romantic looks that many of us are craving this year. A mini skirt is with no doubt the most popular skirt in 2021. And we mean, ANY mini skirt!

2. A-LINE FLORAL SKIRT

Inject romance into your spring wardrobe with floral skirts. Bonus points for floral prints paired with an A-line silhouette. Pair this skirt with a matching top to feel instantly pulled together. Thanks to a whole host of designers from Dior to Miu Miu giving a fresh spin to the timeless skirts. The best part? They're so easy to style with everything from basic white tees to bodysuits and knit sweaters. While florals for spring may not be groundbreaking, this year imagine them with a fresh and fun touch in bold motifs and vibrant hues.

3. FAUX-LEATHER SKIRT

Ditch the earth-toned midi skirt in satin and get colorful with these demure slip skirts this season. Slip skirts are really an all-year round staple. Showcase the high-waisted bodice with a statement-making logo belt. The styling possibilities are endless with a satin slip skirt.

5. Embellished Skirts

Skirts take a bold twist this Spring/Summer 2021 as embellished elements take over the runway. Embellished skirts can add a chic touch to a day as well as night outfit. Think pearls, feather trims, glass pipes, sequins and whatnot. These skirts bring an extra couture flair to the entire look. 

For mini skirts and floor-length styles alike, designers incorporate luxe details like shiny beads, feathers, and sheer fabrics moving away from minimalism and towards the detailing expected of a couture collection.

In case you still have any doubts about stocking up on trendy skirts right now – we repeat – skirts are in fashion for 2021. Sure, they are not as popular as the sweatpants right now, but you know, things will change.
